Among the M*A*S*H addicts who crowded Doc Holiday to bid adieu to the 11-year-old series Monday night were Mike Mokri and Joe Potoky. Droves of San Antonians dressed in Army fatigues, surgeon's garb and spinoffs from the "Klinger collection" packed in to watch the 2½-hour finale that ended television's re-creation of the Korean War and sent the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital packing for home. The goodbye festivities at the nightclub included a M*A*S*H character look alike contest and an auction of show memorabilia, such as a director's chair signed by Gary Burghoff. Published in the San Antonio Express March 1, 1983.
